IAI RCP4-SA5C-I-42P-20-300-P3-S Electric Actuator

Product Overview

IAI RCP4-SA5C-I-42P-20-300-P3-S is a slider-type linear electric actuator from the RCP4 RoboCylinder series. It combines an SA5C body, 42P pulse motor, incremental encoder, 20 mm ball-screw lead and 300 mm working stroke.

The lead-20 configuration is intended for applications that prioritize transfer speed and cycle time. The actuator uses a ball-screw drive and recirculating linear guide to provide controlled linear motion in industrial automation equipment.

Main Features

• SA5C straight-motor slider configuration
• 42P pulse motor with incremental encoder
• 20 mm ball-screw lead and 300 mm stroke
• Maximum speed up to 1440 mm/s under applicable operating conditions
• Repeat positioning accuracy specified at approximately ±0.03 mm for the lead-20 configuration
• Ball-screw drive and integrated linear guide
• Suitable for high-cycle transfer and positioning operations
• P3 and S option codes retained in the complete order code

Technical Specifications

Other Models in the IAI Family

Other IAI family models assigned to this page include RCP4-GRSLL-I-35P-30-22-P3-R03-AC1, RCP4-GRSML-I-28P-30-14-P3-R10, RCP4-SA5C-I-42P-20-350-P3-S and RCP4-SA6C-I-42P-6-150-P3-R03.

RCP4-SA5C-I-42P-20-350-P3-S is the closest linear-actuator variant and mainly differs in stroke. RCP4-SA6C-I-42P-6-150-P3-R03 uses a different frame size, lead, stroke and option configuration.

The RCP4-GRSLL and RCP4-GRSML models are electric grippers rather than linear slider actuators. They are included only as other models within the broader RCP4 product generation and must not be presented as replacements for RCP4-SA5C-I-42P-20-300-P3-S.

Compatible Systems and Applications

This actuator can be installed in component-transfer machinery, automated assembly stations, packaging lines, inspection equipment, loading mechanisms and production systems requiring fast 300 mm linear travel.

Maximum speed and payload depend on the mounting direction, acceleration setting, controller configuration and mechanical load. Long overhung loads and excessive moment forces should be avoided or verified against the official allowable-moment data.

Selection and Replacement Notes

Confirm the complete model code, especially the SA5C body, 42P motor, incremental encoder, 20 mm lead, 300 mm stroke and P3-S suffix. A different lead changes speed and thrust characteristics, while a different stroke changes overall dimensions and mounting requirements.

Before replacement, record the controller model, actuator parameters, home-return direction, cable routing and mechanical datum position. Similar RCP4 products may require different controller parameters or cable configurations.

The assigned P2 products are family references only. Verify the full nameplate, mechanism, motor size, stroke, lead, cable and option codes before considering any alternative.

Inquiry and Supply Notes

Please provide photographs of the complete actuator label, connected controller, motor and encoder connectors and mounting arrangement when requesting a quotation. Product condition, cables, accessories, warranty and delivery time should be confirmed before purchase.
